Why do effeminate people and women always play support roles?

why do effeminate people and women always play support roles?

because women were made to be supportive

what about squad machine gunners? I mean they're technically a "support" role but I don't think effeminate people and women always play the guy that suppresses the shit out of hajis

We don't always play suppo-

if you can answer why women who didn't grow up with vdieo games play support then you have your answer

My best experience in Insurgency was with a 30-something year old mother

She was absolutely fantastic

greentext this nigger!

did you get nudes?

Basically this.
It's the simple rule of supply and demand.

Submissive people play supportive roles

Lots of women like more co-operative, less combative roles. I did some customer validation on this when I was developing.

Women would quite happily play an FPS or something like that if it interested them. But they often do not feel they should take the initiative or take forward action. They often followed other players into combat.

There is also a player base appeal with it, people like to self-identify with characters. Mercy is really cleverly positioned because she sends a message to female players that she is something of a carer and a successful career women at once. That's why TV shows aimed primarily at women often have female doctors as their protagonists whom do both.

I'm a girl, yeah I play mercy. It's just fun. It doesn't feel as meanspirited as playing the DPS or tanks. You're not killing people and ruining their fun, you're helping people have fun.

As I said here. if you ever play test this stuff and get customer validation on female characters, people like tropes/stereotypes/self-projection with their characters.

You'll see it even within yourself. I like playing Reinhardt for example because I easily self-project onto him having been an infantry officer and feeling the obligation to protect my men. You can easily draw a psychological connection with broad character sets.

>bringing a dead hero back into the battle
>zipping around in the air with broken ult and getting off 2 rezes, which are essentially 2 extra ults
>"""helping people have fun"""

play literally any other healer if you want to do that. fuck mercy and fuck you

I really like offensive support roles. Back in Battlefield Bad Company I loved placing anti-tank mines and air strikes or even just tossing ammo packs at dudes.

Recently I've been playing Warframe and bullet priest is the best support. First skill chains up enemies, giving him tons of shields and opening them up to headshots.
Second skill flagellates himself draining all his shields but doubling his reload speed and fire rate, you heal your squad for 10% of the damage dealt. It's a lot more than it sounds like because a player might have 400hp while enemies have 3k.
Third skill converts his energy into buff strength and then every enemy he kills refunds enemy to all the people around him. Headshots give 4x as much energy.
Finally he makes his whole team invincible for 4 seconds and then all the damage they absorb turns into additive crit chance, 4x more when you hit their heads. A lot of weapons with pathetic base crit (1-5%) have stupidly high critical multipliers to make up for how rarely it happens, so giving them a flat critical chance gives you a really consitant 32x damage bonus against most enemies.

>used to main tanks in every vidya i pick up
>was always partied with people described in OP
>wipe a lot or healer poorly rotates keeps everyone up
>decide to be a healer myself
>now caught up in this assumption
life is suffering

>Getting this angry over trash video games
Nice

Because if you don't play support some underdeveloped fag will get stuck with the role and will throw a fit which makes you insta lose. When I played LoL ages ago it was ridiculously easy to get to platinum as a support because lower elo hated that role and the enemies would always tilt and start raging.

>have some kid screeching at you because you took his carry role
or
>get a stupidly easy enemy and faceroll

Ok I'll play zen and instakill most DPS with my rightclick ;%

This is correct.
Morgana support = express ride to platinum

When is mercy going to be not meta holy shit

best carrier pilot in eve(for fleet triage) was a girl too, well in our corp

At least that's harder to time and gets punished for bad positioning. 100% better than some healslut internet gf Mercy just zipping right in, getting like three rezzes, and flying around like a fuckin gnat

It's because it's easy and they can get easy provider thanks to that. It's the exact same way they work in real life. The fact that Mercy is fucking broken and a braindead champion helps that even more.
All they have to do is cling to their tankdom/DPSdom and heal/revive him yelling "DID I DO GOOD MASTER? :3". It doesn't require any reall effort.
And they will ditch them the moment they will find someone better to cling to.
Support/healer characters are a fucking mistake.

don't fall for the Sup Forums healslut meme
t. dom healer

Heal beams = Oestrogen

cage me mommy

kill yourself, faggot

Do they though?
My young sis never played support, always found it boring compared to DPS.

Instead I usually switch between DPS and support depending on what it's needed, but don't like tanking.

I have seen girls playing DPS just fine, tank ones are rare tho.

Women always play as an all muscle brute and yell "Me crush this".

I don't know, why do guys play Soldier?

>play healer
>get bullied
But why?

It's because men are shit at videogames so we have to keep them alive if we want to win

you're thin skinned or pretend to be a beta. no one honestly gives a fuck what you play as long as you do your job properly

I wouldn't count on a woman to haul the equipment for a HMG. They can't even clean their equipment half the time and get take as POW. Oh noes my rifle has jammed because I didn't clean it!

either you're bad or an easy target to bully
when you see someone else fuck up call them out immediately so when you lose you can just blame them

Because they lack testosterone and therefore dont have as much of a urge do dive into the fray and do all the clutch action spotlight shit. They are fine sitting in second row and taking care of you from there.

>can't take the bantz
>anime poster
hmmmm I wonder why you get bullied, nah clearly because you play healer

>tfw your erp bait doesn't work

I'm fit masculine guy but I usually play support because

>High demand Low supply
>Feels pretty damn good to aid my teammates directly
>Most games have some sort of strong Tank/Support that can kick ass
>Most supports are attractive women

Used to play Medic on LoL, Mercy on OW and Leona on LoL.

Braindead attention seeker role

GO SPEED RACER GO

then you're just a muscular bitch. you probably a bottom.

All the other roles have too much pressure. Pick 76/McCree? You better shoot down Pharmercy or get bitched at by your teammates

>play guild wars monk for years
>catching spikes
>clearing conditions
>telling the front line to push to get a kill after a decently long stalemate
>wand on spike, getting kills
>call when enemy spits, dictate who should go back to counter
>split back and prevent enemy from killing lord pit
>these are somehow submissive/beta tendencies
Sup Forums's perception of healing does not play out in reality

>fill the role nobody wants
>most of the time its pretty chill
>add people who performed well to make custom groups and they accept because you're not useless dps shitter
>plow through dungeons like its nothing because you're always with a good group
>can chill even more because everyone knows what they're doing
>being unkillable in pvp
>provide extra cc, damage or cleanses when needed
>in pvp finding person who is performing well and giving him support will make sure you win
>denying kills with heals feels awesome
>denying dots or cc with cleanses feels awesome

meme all you want faggots but I love this role.

Women
>Healing

Real men
